im pondering on a new tv do i go lcd or plasma any opion thanks. :/

I am about to move home and fancied a plasma screen to hang on my wall above my fire cos in my head thats a nice picture! I spoke to a friend who works for a large electrical retailer and he gave me the following advice.

1) dont ever hang plasma screens above a fire. Generally, when people ask him about plasma screens, about 75% of them say they want to hang it above the fireplace and ONLY if they ask whether this is a good idea is he supposed to say no! Its a VERY BAD idea because they are very sensitive to heat.

2) apparently, when watching something like cricket, for example, the ball leaves a trail behind it, as do other fast moving objects! Personally i have never seen this, but i cant say that i have had much opportunity to watch a plasma tv.

This is possibly not the most helpful post (i`m still considering plasma), but i just thought i would share what i have heard :B

P.S i dont know where the poker message came from - and i dont know how to get rid of it - HELP :o

Not too sure about the quality. The reviews on site read like plants. For a real review, which is less flattering try this link (pdf file).

OK for this price you wont get a Viera and this set may be good vfm but it is still a lot of money if you wind up being disappointed.

I want big screen on little money (relatively) and it seems that the way to go is with DLP rear-projector. Sure they are 12" thick but from what I have read they are half the price of a good Plasma with better PQ, true Hi-res, most re HDTV ready etc. I was really tempted by the recent Samsung offer at Makro 46" £999 + VAT.

I see ALDI are selling a 42" Plasma for about £1000 with 3 year cover. Not sure what make but thought I saw LG/Samsung on poster?

I bought one last week.
Its badged as Tevion but its a LG panel with 2 Samsung Tuners.
Sound is a bit tinny so I`ve got it going through my Hi-Fi, with its audio out connections.
Its also HDTV ready.
